Sharpen those axes and snap those suspenders! The Official Paul Bunyan Show, one of the nation’s largest and oldest forest industry trade shows, took place this October 2011 at the Guernsey County Fairgrounds in Old Washington, Ohio. Jim was in attendance to experience the fun! Now, for the first time...Jim is going to offer his own words below to tell you about his trip. :)
These sawmills are ready for the sawmill shootout. I'll tell you Woodmizer had a LT15 souped up with a 28 hp engine and power feed assisted with a separate single blade edger with two guys and man can they put out the wood! As you can see in the background, this place has LOTS of big boy toys. lol.
This is part of the Game of Logging professional competition. In this event the competitor has to fell the tree pole (25 to 30 feet tall) and land the center of the target on the spike. About half got about like this.
A few got this close.
But the last competitor nailed it! Great job.
I found my next chainsaw, but I have to grow a tree BIG enough to use it on. This is Stihl's largest saw (MS 880) with their second longest bar (47 inches).
